Rustenburg High School recently made waves for their rendition of Queen’s hit song, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody‘.

Since the video was uploaded to Facebook yesterday, more than 400 000 people watched it. The video has also been shared over 18 000 times.

“Is this the biggest hit of all time?” the school posted along with the now-viral clip.

“The young singers from Rustenburg High School pay tribute to Freddie Mercury, one of Africa’s favourite sons. They have given the Queen hit Bohemian Rhapsody – the greatest song of all time – their very own unique choral interpretation.”

It is said that Ralph Schmitt, the choirmaster behind the now-famous Ndlovu Youth Choir is responsible for the incredible production.
